I was looking to buy a new bike and the cfmoto ibex450 seems to be getting glowing reviews. 450 seems perfect for what I want; mostly avoid highway, use it on farmy, windy, quiet roads, explore small American towns and some slight off road.

Anyone ride one? The RE Himalayan 450 looks cool too and I really dig the style of it but i see too many reliability issues online; haven’t found much comparably with the Cfmoto. I don’t give a shit about the ibex being Chinese; they make some excellent shit nowadays but I’m still pretty against buying an Indian bike. Anyone fuck around on these?

I considered the Crf300l which is also pretty popular but it feels like I’m getting quite a bit more with the other two.
